Geometry 1.3 Segments, Rays, and Distance
Lines • A and C are on the line. • B is between A and C. • In the symbol, may A and C be switched? YES!! C . B . A .
Segments • On Segment , A and C are endpoints. • In the symbol, may A and C be switched? YES!! C . A .
Rays • On ray , A is the endpoint. • In the symbol, may A and C be switched? NO!! A . C .
Opposite Rays • Ray and ray are opposite rays if S is between R and T. . R . S . T
Lengths • AC, without a symbol, is used to denote the length of . • AC = 4 C . 4 A .
Number Line • CD = _____ ? • |15 – 7| = |8| = 8 • CB = _____ ? • |7 – (-5)| = |7 + 5| = |12| = 12 • AB = _____ ? • |-21 – (-5)| = |-21 + 5| = |-16| = 16 B C D A -21 -5 0 7 15
Postulates and Axioms • Statements that are accepted without proof. • They are the foundation for theorems, corollaries, and proofs of geometry.
Segment Addition Postulate • If B is between A and C, then… AB + BC = AC. C . B . A .
Find x and BC. x + x + 6 = 24 2x + 6 = 24 2x = 18 x = 9 Find BC. BC = x + 6 = 9 + 6 = 15 AC = 24 x x + 6 . . . A B C
